hang in there nailit xx

[nailit]

I really don't know how much more I can 'hang in there' .... at the mo. I try to be upbeat but its bloody hard going.

[murraymints]

one step at a time ...sort this stuff out first.... then make plans...

[nailit]

And before anyone posts, I don't want the number to the Samaritans or any local mental health charity lines. Not ungrateful, just frustrated. Don't want to talk about my issues, need help in dealing with them.

[nailit]

B4 THEY KILL ME..........

[murraymints]

I'd go back to GP nailit..

[murraymints]

you need a referral to a mental health crisis care team...

[Tilly2]

How can we help, Nailit?

[Tilly2]

...apart from distracting you from your thoughts?

[nailit]

Minty, I'm going round in circles again.
//you need a referral to a mental health crisis care team//
Ive been asking for this for the past few months (prior to my recent arrest) and getting nowhere.

In all honesty I don't think we have the power to help, we can suggest avenues (you've tried them) offer platitudes (you don't need them) - you obviously don't want to be in the state you are in and some way or other you need to convince yourself there is something worth living for.

Whether it's helping others or just being happy with yourself, but until you see a point to going on you'll have nothing to aim for.

"And still you get done for an aborted suiside attempt."

I've never heard of an aborted suicide attempt just by people who never could carry it out and made a cry for help.

I've lost 6 people to suicide, they never told a soul what they were going to do, we just found out the next day they'd killed themselves.

I really wished they would have aborted their suicides.

Tills, your wit and wisdom help more than you know ;-)

[maggiebee]

Hard place you're in nailit. You say you "don't want to talk about your issues, need help in dealing with them." Not sure that one comes without the other though. Sometimes talking about things helps point the way forward to dealing with them?

[nailit]

What I meant Maggie is that I was sick of talking about certain issuses, I don't want... or need....to keep bringing up the past, I need closure and the tools to move on.

nailit look in PM's on FB !

Ive lost a few friends in the past who made 'crys for help' who did eventually top themselves. (one of whom, I carried his coffin at his funeral).
Judge my own post how you will. I don't really care anymore.

[ummmm]

You are talking about it. You're talking to us. Mental health services are pretty crap. They're good when you can get access to them but getting there is a struggle.

Just keep talking and posting in the mean time.

My aunt committed suicide....she felt she had no one to talk to. If only AB was available back then.

I for one, and I'm sure most AB users, are not going to get fed up of hearing your frustrations. Just keep posting about how you feel...it's better out than in xx

Nailit....I wish I could be there, to help you.

Oh, I thought this was a new sport to rival the flea circus
